I don't think we qualify as a tread mill team. We have okay-good financial flexibility, and a bunch of young players that could amount to something. However, I could be argued that building around bosh was a recipe for the treadmill.

"We only have one rule on this team. What is that rule? E.L.E. That's right's, E.L.E, and what does E.L.E. stand for? EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY. Right there up on the wall, because this isn't just a basketball team, this is a lifestyle. ~ Jackie Moon

I would have agreed with you 100% at the start of the season, but I worry that the big contract handed to DeRozan is a sign that once again BC is building around a false-star player (Bosh, Bargnani and now DeRozan). If DeRozan becomes the face of the franchise and is hailed as a cornerstone to build around, then I think this team will be stuck on the playoff bubble treadmill for the next few years. I'm worried the average Raptors fan will drink the BC kool-aid and buy into the DeRozan hype... we already see quite a bit of it around these parts!
